"Lyric shivers in a haunted house"

Patrick Sourd | Les Inrocks, 17.07.13

(...) With baritone Oliver Dunn (brother), mezzo soprano Kitty Whately (sister), an elegant musical direction by Etienne Siebens of the thirteen instrumentalists of the Asko | Schoenberg Ensemble (...) we are lead into this chilling adventure where Cortazar hints the metaphor of a populist Peronism. (...) A very political skeleton in the closet that Vasco Mendonça refuses to profit from in order to favor the art of mystery and suspense (...), approaching the story from its fantastic side. (...) A new success to credit the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence for, that never forgets to offer us in its programme a contemporary gem.
